Reading Suggestions

Our learners can all benefit from reading aloud to you and receiving your feedback.  It helps fluency, comprehension, vocabulary building, pronunciation and more!  Try to spend a little time reading during each session.
Here are a few suggestions for resources:

The Westcoast Reader newspaper, available at all Chilliwack library branches (a favourite of Heather, Dianne, and others)  Worksheets to go with the newspaper are in the teacher's section at http://www.thewestcoastreader.com/

For higher learners, try the Chicken Soup for the Soul books (thanks to Sandra and her learner for this idea)
Active Reader books at all levels are available at our office, or I can get them for you.  Have you visited our new office at 8472 Harvard Place yet?
Books from the ESL or Adult Learner Collection at the library are great.  Ask the librarian for suggestions.

I would be happy to recommend specific reading for your learner!
